Timelapsing the Foucault pendulum. This work was inspired by the work of Léon Foucault who in 1851, proved that the earth was rotating by creating a very large pendulum that moved in a straight line relative to itself, but would appear to process around in a circle over the course of time. #foucalt #foucaultpendulum #granite #art #stone #concept #spiral #ellipse #sanddrawing @llanoearthartfest | Stone Point Studio

In 1851, the French physicist Léon Foucault provided an experimental proof of the Earth’s rotation using a pendulum in Paris' s Pantheon. https://rfi.my/Awqo.f | RFI English
